Assembly bypolls: TVK wins 2 seats in TN, BJP also bags 2 in Bengal

In Tamil Nadu, TVK secured its first electoral victory just five months after forming the government, winning two assembly constituencies. In West Bengal, the BJP achieved a similar feat, retaining Nandigram, a seat crucial to Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari's territory, and wresting Rejinagar from the AJP United Party. The All India NR Congress, an ally of the NDA, retained Thattanchavady assembly segment, while in Assam, the BJP reclaimed the Nagaon Lok Sabha constituency, with ex-IAS officer Devasish Sharma winning by nearly 50% of the votes.

The BJP's gains in Bengal signal a potential shift in the political landscape, as the party's strength now stands at 209 in an assembly where the opposition remains fragmented.
